Solution
The probability of selecting a student whose vote for new mascot was for a lion can be calculated by dividing the total number of votes for the lion by the total number of students.
From the table, we can see that the total number of votes for the lion is 20 and the total number of students is 80.
So, the probability is 20/80 = 0.25 or 25%.
Therefore, none of the options A, B, C, or D are correct.
